    Porsi in bengakuru

    7 months ago 233

    In Jainism, “Porsi” (also spoken as “Porshi / Porshi-bhojan”) does not mean a place; it is a type of meal/fasting rule, especially followed by Shravaks.

    Very simply:

    • Porsi = eating only once in the morning, before a certain set time
    • That time is usually around 3 hours after sunrise (exact limit can vary by tradition / local Pachchakkhan).

    So:

    • If you are in Bengaluru, “Porsi in Bengaluru” means:
    Fixing your Porsi-bhojan time limit according to Bengaluru sunrise time (for that date), and eating your only meal of the day before that time.

    For example (only as a concept, not exact for today):

    • If sunrise in Bengaluru is at 6:30 am,
    • Then Porsi limit might be roughly up to 9:30 am (depending on how your Guru / local Jain Sangh defines it).
    • After that time, you will not eat again that day.

    To follow it correctly in Bengaluru:

    1. Check daily sunrise time for Bengaluru.
    2. Ask your local Jain Sangh / Guru what exact Porsi limit they follow (some say 2 hours, some 3 hours after sunrise).
    3. Take Pachchakkhan accordingly and eat only once before that time.

    If you tell me:

    • Which Jain Sampraday (Deravasi / Sthanakvasi / Digambar), and
    • Whether you want today’s typical Porsi time pattern,

    I can guide you conceptually, but exact clock time you must confirm locally from your Jain Sangh or their printed/WhatsApp tithi-panchang for Bengaluru.
